The group will descend all morning, have lunch in Periche and arrive in Pangboche this afternoon. Before they reach Periche, they may take a small detour to the fascinating High Altitude Science Technology & Research Centre.
Periche is the last inhabited villiage below Mt Everest. The Himalayan Rescue Association operates a medical post here and western doctors conduct excellent seminars on Altitude Mountain Sickness (AMS) most afternoons. It’s quite a long day’s trek but as they descend, the air will be richer in oxygen and the body and brain thrive on the increased O’s. You feel great!
Well done Steve and Debbie!!! Happy Birthday, Steve! What a fantastic way to celebrate your 50th! Have fune and our best wishes, Patrick & Brigitte
